Golden Earring - Keeper of the Flame lyrics

rate me

From the Album:

* Keeper of the flame

Mother mother, gotta understand,

That mother mother we've got murder on our hands.

Your sons & your daughters

rapin' eachother on the steps of a church,

They no longer depend on

The cry of a wolf in a lightnin' storm

The scream of a hawk,

anxious to get airborn

The fear of a mouse crawlin' out of a hole

Just a few of many story, waitin' to be told

Hungry for good no boogie in the scheme

And baby the sky will never be the same

From many miles away I came

From where the gods smile upon you & play

Your job may be no good, it's just a passing thing

The universe will always change

And I happen to carry a name

I am The keeper of the flame

A message carved into an arm with a shark tooth

Ever so delicate, ever so smooth

The truth is only waitin' and it stabs a deeper wound,

than all the lies the vagabonds have whispered over you

Hey, hey, hey, look out for the drifter on a train

Hey, hey, hey, look out for a showdown in the rain,

With the keeper of the flame

So gather all your hunters, and gather all you prey

Listen to what the wind and the trees have got to say

To all you marble statues and you bricks of clay

Blow you all to kingdom come on your judgement day!
